HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

My blog turns one today! And what a great first year it has been.

I therefore thought it fitting to reflect back on where we started and how far we have come in a year. From complete obscurity and for half of the year still fully employed, I remember how excited I was when my blog following exceeded 100 people – affirmation that it was more than just my mother and a few loyal friends following.

As it stands now one year on, I have a dedicated following in excess of 700 people, had total post reaches in excess of 100,000 people according to Facebook, and have had just under 9500 hits on my blog.

Thank you so much to everybody for all your support, referrals, post ideas and criticism. You have all helped with building the content.
